Comment:

 Hm. I activated Akismet locally and can't reproduce the problem. Activity
 posts are being properly checked against Akismet, and a success result is
 returned to the AJAX request.

 SlothLoveChunk, could you help with a bit more debugging? Could you enable
 debug logging (`define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY',
 false ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );`) and see if anything of note
 pops up in wp-content/debug.log? If not, could you try digging into
 buddypress/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-akismet.php to see if you can
 figure out exactly where execution is getting held up? By the looks of
 things, I'd say that the failing line is the following in
 `BP_Akismet::update_activity_akismet_meta()`:

 {{{
 bp_activity_update_meta( $activity->id, '_bp_akismet_result', 'false' );
 }}}

 Is this function returning false? Or true? Or are you getting a fatal
 error during its execution?
